CMIN 483 - Racial Reconciliation

3 hours
Upon a short survey of the history of racism in the United States, students will explore both the theological and Biblical frameworks for remedying the injustice of racialization, inequality, and prejudice. Operating under the assumptions of “beloved community,” a vision for a redeemed and reconciled community, this course will explore racism within both a personal and systemic/structural framework of sinfulness. In addition, students will explore meaningful ways in which followers of Jesus and the church corporately can both address contextual systemic injustice in local communities and provide a means of spiritual transformation within communities often divided by race.
